3 main arteries that are the key to the logistic paralysis of the regime:
North-South rail bottlenecks:
- The enemy's rail network is strongly dependent on two structures:
- "Yarkon Bridge" (passage of 90% of heavy military equipment)
- "Jezreel tunnel" (the only way to transfer fuel and ammunition from Haifa port to the center). The destruction of these two points completely cuts off the connection between the north and the south.
Jabal Ali-Ashkolon land corridor:
- By blocking the traditional sea routes, the enemy has relied on the road-rail corridor through the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. This long stretch of desert is an ideal target for precision strikes that can shock the enemy air force's energy supply chain.
Strategic stations and key highways:
- Port of Haifa: the pulse of foreign trade and maritime logistics.
- Rehout station: the core of cargo distribution to the front lines of the war.
Such actions could disrupt key logistics and energy supply chains, particularly affecting the region's trade and security dynamics. Traders should watch for potential volatility in energy markets and regional assets, as tensions could lead to sharp price movements in commodities like oil, particularly WTI.
